Keith Hammill Memorial Handicap

Scored for fourth time over this C&D when making all in 5-runner handicap (good) 10 days ago, driven out. 4 lb penalty to carry now but looks sure to make another bold bid.

Made winning reappearance at Thirsk in April and returned to form when second in Ayr handicap on penultimate start. However, not the most consistent and was disappointing at Carlisle last time.

Keen sort who made winning return at Newmarket (7f) in May and got back to that sort of form when fourth at Haydock (7f) latest. Return to sprinting should suit but will likely face competition for the lead here.

Posted career best when winning 5-runner minor event over C&D in June and didn't have the race run to suit when third at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) since. Big player.

Below form in recent starts and is yet to score on turf. Likely best watched.

Belatedly off the mark, in first-time cheekpieces, when taking 3-runner minor event (11/8) at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, well ridden. More on plate here but can't be ruled out.

Returned to form (with addition of headgear) when 1¾ lengths second of 5 to Commandment in minor event (12/1) over C&D (good) 37 days ago. 4 lb better off with winner now and could play a part in finish.

Back on scoreboard over C&D last month and far from disgraced when third over shorter trip in Thirsk follow-up bid. Not taken lightly.

Fair form at best in trio of outings in Ireland and shaped with little encouragement either start for current yard, including on York return/handicap bow last month.

Progressive as a juvenile, winning second of 3 starts in novice company at 6f, but yet to fire this term, including in first-time blinkers at Newcastle latest. Tries cheekpieces now.
